The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) has announced that Verana Health, the data curation and analytics partner of the AAO IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research In Sight), will serve as the end-to-end data and technology partner for the IRIS Registry moving forward. Verana Health will be assuming responsibility for EHR integration, practice support and MIPS (Merit-Based Incentive Payment System) quality reporting for physicians contributing to the IRIS Registry.
Verana Health was selected as the Academy’s new end-to-end data and technology partner for the IRIS Registry to offer an enhanced physician experience that is highly reliable and responsive to requests and inquiries, provide MIPS reporting with the highest-degree of quality, and ensure the exceptional data quality required to provide the ophthalmic community with meaningful insights and technology applications. Applications of this high quality data include more robust practice performance and benchmarking capabilities.
The roll-out will begin next month and continue over the next two years as Verana Health adds additional EHRs into its operations. Practices will be contacted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology as they become eligible for EHR integration and quality reporting through Verana Health. Current services will not be disrupted and there will be no impact to 2020 reporting. Practices will continue to be supported by the current registry services provider until the transition is complete.
